Unzahwenje ushe afume hwa Bhafilisti bhasaga bhatahililwe?" U Samsoni ahamwuozya ubaba wakwe, "Nejele kwa ajili yane, kwa maana lwanahamwenya, nahasungwa.' ⁴ Lakini ubaba wakwe nu maye wakwe sagabhahamenye aje ijambo eli lifumile hwa Mweene, kwa maana ahazagaje agombe inongwa na Bhafilisti (wakati uwo Abhafilisti bhatawalaga Abhaisraeli). ⁵ Basi uSamsoni ahabhala hu Tina nu baba wakwe nu maye wakwe peka; bhahafiha hu magonda gi zabibu gahu Timna.

Weka nkayaje na humbuzye ijibu husiku saba zishikulukulu,, inza fumye amenda aminza selasini ni zigo limenda selasini. ¹³ Lakini nkamzapotwe humbozye ijibu basi mnzahupele amenda selasini amiza, ni zigo limenda selasini. ' Bhahamuozya, Tiwuzye ishiri shaho, ili tonvwe. ¹⁴ Ahabhawuzya, 'Pahati ya muntu yaliye ahali nahatu halye; honze yi ngovu hwahali ahatu ahinza. Lakini abajenu wakwe, sagabhaha lyajile husiku zitatu. ¹⁵ Iisku ilyaune bhahamuozya ushe wa Samsoni, 'Khopele unume waho ili atiwuozye ijibu lishiri, au inza hupembe awe ni nyumba ya baba waho. Je, utanile epa ili hutiwombe wapena? ' ¹⁶ Ushe wa Samsoni ahada alile hwilongolela lyakwe; Ahayanga, 'Gonti hamuomba munvitiilwe! Sagaungene. Uyenje ishirih hwa bhantu bhane, lakini sagauwaweuzezye ijibu. 'U Samsoni ahamuozya, 'Enya epa, shisele humwozye ubaba wane nu maye wane, iwozye awe?' ¹⁷ Ahalila isiku saba zishikulukulu. Isiku ilya saba ahamuozya ijubu kwa sababu ahanazimisizye sana. Ahabhawunzya ijimbu abhajama wakwe. ¹⁸ Na bhantu bhapa miji bhahamuozya, isiku ilya saba shalisele isenya aswe, 'Henu hahali bora zaidi kuliko uwoshi? Na shintushi shilini ngovu kuliko isama? ' U Samsoni ahabhoawuzya, 'Nkamulimile ni ngombe zyane, sagamza hulyaje ijibu lishili shane.' ¹⁹ Kisha Impepo ya Mweene ihenza hwa Samsoni hu ngovu. U Samsoni ahahiha abhale Ashkeloni nabude abhantu selasini pahati ya bhantu ewo. Ahega amenda gao, na hubhapele izigo limenda bhala bhayenje ishili shakwe. Ahavitilwe ahabhala hu nyumba ya baba wakwe. ²⁰ Nushe wakwe ahegwa nu manyani wakwe wapapepe.
